For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
